CVS commit: src/bin/cp



Module Name:    src
Committed By:   jschauma
Date:           Sat Jul 15 02:09:48 UTC 2006

Modified Files:
        src/bin/cp: cp.1 cp.c extern.h utils.c

Log Message:
As suggested on tech-userlevel:
"-R" claims:
 -R     [...] Created directories have the same mode as the corre-
        sponding source directory, unmodified
        by the process' umask.

Make this actually true.

In addition, make '-P' (no symbolic links are followed) apply even if
'-R' is not specified.  This allows users to overwrite symbolic links
with files and/or to copy symbolic links over a file without indirecting
through the link (ie a copy of a link turns the target into a link, not
a copy of the file pointed to by the source).
